|Introduction=The '''Orinilure Mountains''' are the eastern of the two mountain ranges of [[Orinilure]], lying east of the [[Orinilure Valley]] and facing the [[Irere Mountains]] across it. The range covers about 50,000 square miles. It is the territory of the [[Orinilure Collective]], whose [[Oinien]] live in cavern cities and tunnels beneath it, including the capital, [[Orinilure City]], and the cities of [[Lirépiel]] and [[Avilîché]]. The two ranges are said to have once formed a single horseshoe-shaped massif.

The range is rich in minerals and is a center of metalworking and engineering. Because they live underground, its Oinien rarely cross the Orinilure Valley, and they have grown apart from those of the Irere Mountains.
